Florida Medical Association

Gov. Rick Scott and his surgeon general are balking at a proposal headed to the House floor that would open the door for a strain of marijuana that doesn’t get users high but is believed to dramatically reduce seizures in children with a rare form of epilepsy.

Committees in both the state House and Senate discussed but failed to take action on bills which would make changes to Florida’s personal injury protection coverage which was set up in the 1970s to pay medical claims for injured motorists.
